The 41st Regiment of Foot, also known as the Welch Regiment, was an infantry regiment in the British Army. Formed in 1719, it served in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and World War I. Known for its distinctive red uniforms and a proud Welsh heritage, the regiment played significant roles in battles and colonial operations. It was part of the transition to a professional army and eventually merged with other units in 1969, becoming part of the Royal Welsh.
